Ana, 
In case no one else has replied to your message, here's what I know.
Several months ago, an update to Firefox rendered it inaccessible.  
There was a version labeled the ESR (which stood for something like Extended Support,  think) which was accessible, and I personally have been using that version daily ever since.  
Freedom Scientific posted the link to it for download, which is probably still on their site.  
I use Jaws 2018 and, as I said, use Firefox daily without bumps.  
Good luck.
Deborah

Subject: [VICUG-L] Firefox Accessibility

Hi All,


How accessible is Firefox for Windows?


I know it went through an inaccessible phase. I thought current versions 
were screen reader friendly again, but I've just installed a fresh copy, 
and I'm still getting the error about needing to update my screen reader 
or go back to an older version of the browser.


Are we still waiting for an update, or is Ana's computer messing with 
her head?


Thanks for any help.


Ciao
